Energy Project

Thermodynamics examines the relationship between temperature, work, and energy. At NATRAD, we focus our research on a specific material: the thermoelectric generator (TEG) module. This module responds to both hot and cold temperatures, enabling it to convert temperature differences into electrical energy. We aim to deepen our understanding of TEG applications while applying thermodynamic principles to explore various methods for advancing alternative energy conversion technologies. To do so, we study existing research and use our understanding to conduct experiments with TEG modules to develop trial-and-error models, known as the TEG System: Model. When successful, this technology has the potential to benefit both humanity and the environment through applications that include further advances in modern technology, advances in space exploration, and enhanced power generation for small- and large-scale applications. While we do not expect to solve the energy crisis on our own, we recognize the importance of collaboration and community expertise. We aim to inspire our generation to work together to address this challenge through awareness and action, and to motivate future generations to continue this vital work throughout their lives.
